In a Bus Network, how are the nodes connected?

In a Bus Network, nodes are connected sequentially using a single cable, which serves as the backbone of the network. This arrangement allows all devices (or nodes) to communicate over the same medium. Each node is connected to this central cable, which facilitates data transmission. When a node sends data, it travels along the cable, and each node on the network receives the data simultaneously.

This setup is efficient for smaller networks, as it minimizes the amount of cabling required and is relatively easy to set up. However, the single cable also means that if the main line fails, communication among all nodes is interrupted, highlighting both the simplicity and vulnerability of this network design.
